    DThe (xx0232@1)more you criticize me
    Gthe (320003@1)more I know I'm right
                      DI (xx0232@1)just cant stop this need for you
   C (x32010@1)     Cmaj7 (x32000@1)     A7to (x02020@1)help me through the night
    Dand (xx0232@1)though you treat me badly 
Gtreat (320003@1)me like a slave
                    Dsure (xx0232@1)no one would believe it
    C (x32010@1)     Cmaj7 (x32000@1)A7the (x02020@1)way that you behave


    GSometimes (320003@1)I dare to wonder
          Ais (x02220@1)there life after you
      Gcould (320003@1)my heart stand the loneliness
      Acould (x02220@1)my head see it through

and I say 

Goo (320003@1)oo oo oo
D (xx0232@1)         Aoo (x02220@1)oo oo oo oo
Goo (320003@1)oo oo oo
D (xx0232@1)         Aoo (x02220@1)oo oo oo oo

I thought that we were perfect
the best there'd ever been
I would be your gypsy king
and you would be my queen
but real life just ain't like that
and so before to long
my sweet and happy melody
became a sadder song

And though the tune is different
that old familiar blues
there is nothing I would change in us
there is nothing I could lose
and I say 

oo oo oo oo
oo oo oo oo oo
oo oo oo oo
oo oo oo oo oo
